Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 118 A far-fetched coincidence

Mai Xiang couldn't control and didn't want to control which way Ziju wanted to go. She had already done what she could do, and naturally she wouldn't do what she couldn't do, so the conversation between these girls broke up in the end.

The next day, after breakfast, the Zhao family was busy sending away the winter solstice dowry. There were ten loads in total. Mai Xiang took a closer look and found that besides Li's few basic things, there were two pieces of dowry in the winter solstice box. There are silk fabrics and a few pieces of cotton fabrics, as well as two sets of winter solstice's own four seasons' new clothes. In addition, there are two pairs of satin shoes made for the man's parents. There are also six quilts. .

Mai Xiang looked at the expressions of the daughters-in-law and daughters of the Zhao family, and probably such a dowry is considered generous for a farming family, otherwise the Zhao family would not be envious.

After the things were sent out, Dachun and the others were still feeling emotional, Yu took a look at the children and said, "Okay, don't bother, this is sent by the new uncle, and the winter solstice himself I have saved some money for embroidery over the years, and I have posted it here, but I have not given it to her, nor do I have the ability."

"Mother, who said that? I thought, my Ziju family would be lucky to have a younger sister, and I could find a better-off family, and I could pull off my younger siblings." Dachun said.

When Mai Xiang heard this topic, it was obviously not what the girls should listen to, so she hurriedly pulled Mai Huang and Mai Qing and said, "Let's go, eldest sister will take you to the town."

Although Mai Xiang has been to Changning Town many times, she seldom has the opportunity to take her two younger sisters there. It was last time on February [-] that she went for a random tour with the Winter Solstice.

"Really, big sister is so kind." Mai Huang was very happy when she heard that she went shopping. These days, in order to let Mai Xiang concentrate on earning money, she took care of most of the housework at home, so she seldom went out.

"Big sister, big sister." Seeing that Mai Xiang was about to leave, Mai Lu staggered and hugged Mai Xiang's thigh, probably because she still had a shadow over Mrs. Yu?

"Okay, big sister will take you with me too." Mai Xiang led Mai Lu's little hand, she had never taken Mai Lu out to play before.

Mai Xiang is going to go out, so Zi Ju and Qiao Hong will naturally follow. They are still the same team as last time on February [-], but there is one winter solstice missing.

Mai Xiang took these girls around on the street, because Mai Huang saw that Qiaohong's head was tied with a red rope, she also wanted it, so Mai Xiang simply bought a few for Ziju, and then gave it to Mai. Lu bought a mud rabbit, and Mai Lu hugged the little rabbit, drooling with joy, everyone laughed when they saw it.

Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, there are many mooncake stalls on the street. Not only are there many mooncakes, Maixiang also saw several kinds of fruits, including watermelon, apple, sand fruit and pomegranate. Besides watermelon, Maixiang also bought some.

"Sister, shall we buy a hairpin for mother too?" Mai Huang said when passing by a jewelry store.

It was only then that Mai Xiang remembered that the hairpin on Zhao's head was still the same wooden hairpin as before, without any patterns, it was probably made by Ye Dafu himself.

Thinking of this, Mai Xiang also blamed herself a bit, she had indeed neglected Mrs. Zhao too much, Mrs. Zhao was sloppy and unreliable, and Mai Xiang had never been close to her.

"Okay, but eldest sister didn't bring much money today, so I can only buy a wooden one." Mai Xiang said, and took Mai Huang to pick out a peach wood carving hairpin in the shop.

"Mai Xiang, where have you been? I looked around and couldn't find you."

As soon as Mai Xiang came out of the store, she was stopped by Zhao Yuanjiang.

"Uncle, what's the matter?" Mai Xiang was startled when she saw Zhao Yuanjiang looking for her.

"Follow me quickly. Someone is here to pick you up. The one who is driving a carriage is still waiting at your grandma's house."

When Mai Xiang heard it, she guessed that it was Amusin who delivered the letter. These days, she was really worried about who Amusin would get, so she hurriedly followed Zhao Yuanjiang back.

"Nurse Guan, is that you?" Mai Xiang was a little surprised when she entered the courtyard and saw that it wasn't Nanny Li.

"It's not me, or who do you think it is?" Nurse Guan stood up with a smile.

"Big ya, Grandma Guan said she had something to ask for you, and even gave your old aunt a silver coin. How can you say that, she won't even enter the house for a drink." Yu muttered.

"I came here unprepared, and I don't know that it's a good day for your old aunt. The amount of money is the same thing, so don't hold it against you." Guan Nanny said.

"That's so embarrassing, and it cost Nanny Guan a lot of money." Mai Xiang guessed that it was out of Nanny Guan's own pocket.

"Miss Mai Xiang, are you shabby for your mother Guan?"

"By the way, Nurse Guan, you said you have something to ask me? Let's go out and talk." Mai Xiang was about to ask about Amusin as well. With so many people in this yard, it was obviously not a good place to talk.

"Okay, it's just a matter of time for you to see me off." Guan Nanny didn't see her either.

Mai Xiang led Madam Guan to the entrance of the village, but there was no carriage at the entrance of the village.

"Don't look for it, the carriage will take your Fifth Uncle home." Seeing Mai Xiang searching around, Madam Guan said with a smile.

"How are you, Fujin?" Mai Xiang thought that the other party had found the Zhao family, so she must have something to say to Mai Xiang.

"Okay, okay. Miss Mai Xiang, we Fujin sent me to give Miss Mai Xiang a gift. We Fujin originally said that we wanted to take Miss Mai Xiang to live in the city for a few days, but I think your family has a happy event, so I can't force it." you."

"Thank you, Fujin, and tell Fujin later, don't think about giving me any gifts in the future, I'm sorry. I'm just a little effort, but you Fujin always take it to heart, so I will have a burden."

As soon as Mai Xiang said this, Madam Guan's eyes turned red, she took Mai Xiang's hand, and said, "Son, you don't know, you are Fujin's benefactor, our Fujin, a doctor found out yesterday, unexpectedly With twins, you don't know, after our Fujin heard the news, he was about to send me to thank you, but I said it was too late, and she couldn't make it in time, so she gave up."

"What? Twins?" Mai Xiang was also surprised, "I really want to congratulate you Fujin."

"Hey, didn't you already know?" Guan Nanny asked.

"I, how could I have known this earlier?" Mai Xiang was stunned, she was not a superman.

"However, when I came to deliver the Duanyang Festival last time, didn't you give me a purse with two dolls, a boy and a girl, and you said it belonged to some kind of lucky baby. We Fujin said that it was only thanks to you Fuwa."

When Mai Xiang heard this secret passage, it was too a coincidence, right?The point is that this reason is too far-fetched, how much trouble will I have to get into if this is spread?

"Guanmao, this, I just said it casually, this credit is not mine, it is Fujin who moved the Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva blessed Fujin."

"The Bodhisattva should also thank you, and you should also thank me. We Fujin said that if she hadn't eaten the things you said, maybe she wouldn't have a child. In short, Fujin said that without you, she wouldn't be where she is today."

"Nurse Guan, don't talk about this yet, how is Princess?" Mai Xiang hurriedly changed the subject, and if she continued, she was afraid that she would offend the Bodhisattva, which would be a real sin.

"Oh, I forgot if you didn't tell me, Fujin said, I'm afraid you don't know yet, Gege has been accused of being the eighth master of Prince Zhuang's mansion, and the wedding date is set for next spring."

"Really?" Mai Xiang jumped up.

"You?" Guan Nanny was confused by Mai Xiang's reaction.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just happy for Gege, because I know Gege likes an unfettered life."

"We, Fujin, feel a little pity, but we've said it, it's better this way."

"By the way, Nanny Guan, come home with me, I have a few things I want to bring to Gege and you Fujin." Seeing the carriage approaching, Mai Xiang said.

"It's going to miss the girl's good things again." Guan Yu said with a smile.

"Mommy, these are just a few small things I made by myself, and they are not worth much. They are just a little thought from me. What you give me are serious and good things." Mai Xiang said.

"Son, you gave us Fujin such a generous gift. We Fujin said that you will be her sister in the future. Please don't be polite if you have any difficulties."

After Guan Yu finished speaking, she took out a bank note from her sleeve pocket.

"I really don't want this, Madam Guan, listen to me, every time you give me something worth a lot of silver, and last time I went to see you Fujin, you Fujin gave me 20 taels of silver, to be honest You say, I bought a piece of land with this money and I am planning to build a house. This is enough, if I want anything else, I will be greedy."

"You child, Gege also said that this 100 taels of silver is just for you to build a few houses. When she comes to the Reclining Buddha Temple to fulfill her vows after giving birth next year, she just comes to see you. Fujin has another word to tell you , you are also a year old, don't go to the Reclining Buddha Temple to ask for a living in the future."

After hearing these few words, Mai Xiang's eyes turned red, knowing that Uladomin, like Liu Huilan, treated her as a relative.

"Okay, I will lend her the money first, and I will definitely pay her back in two years at the most. Thank Fujin for me." Mai Xiang took the bank note.

Grandma Guan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, and followed Mai Xiang back home. The lucky star wind chime that Mai Xiang made last time was still there, and she gave a blue one to Grandma Guan, and a pair of longevity flower pendants For the old lady, two dart boards are for Addis and Abida, and a pink paper crane wind chime is for Amusin.

After Mammy Guan left, Mai Xiang didn't go to Zhao's house anymore, anyway, she gave away all the things that should be given away, and she didn't want to be dragged to ask questions after going back.

Mai Xiang sorted out the things sent by Madam Guan. Apart from mooncakes and snacks, there were also some fruits. To Mai Xiang's surprise, there was a watermelon and a cantaloupe. In addition, there were some rice noodles, some pork, beef and mutton, and some clothing materials. , There are silk and cotton, which almost meet all the needs of Mai Xiang's life.

It is estimated that Ula Duomin also heard from Amusin or Guan Yuma that Mai Xiang's parents lost the ability to work, so the things sent this time are so comprehensive.

Mai Xiang distributed some meat to each family, and gave some to Liu Huilan, then closed the door and started discussing with Ye Dafu about building a house.
